Badminton for Primary Schools

The Badminton School Programme provides the opportunity for primary schools in Meath to get involved in a new sport. Playing Badminton not only improves balance, flexibility, cardio & coordination but significantly improves motor skills. Social skills are further enhanced as players can also work as part of a team in a cooperative manner to develop and initiate game strategies to win a match.

Badminton Ireland and Meath Sports Partnership teamed up to roll out the Meath Schools Badminton Programme in 2020. The aim of the programme is to introduce children to the Sport of Badminton in a social, structured, supportive and enjoyable environment.

Feedback from Teachers

I have played Badminton for many years and I am delighted to have the opportunity to bring Badminton into our school, this will provide a new recreational sport for children who shy   away from the larger team games.

Teacher

This is a fantastic sport to increase hand-eye coordination and I have already seen a significant difference for some children who need help in this department.
